Why is it so important to you that I lose?

When you insult first and back it up with gibberish, America needs you to lose.

America has been losing since January 20, 2017. Hopefully we get a real leader in January of 2029.

I love this country. That’s why I’m opposed to changing it into something unrecognizable. And/or an authoritarian state.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email
The Trump administration is targeting free speech with a little-known legal tool: administrative subpoenas.

The Washington Post reports that a retired Philadelphia man, Jon, 67, found himself in the government’s crosshairs after he emailed a lead prosecutor at the Department of Homeland Security, Joseph Dernbach, who was handling the deportation case of an Afghan refugee, identified as H, asking him to consider that the man’s life was in danger from the Taliban.

“Mr. Dernbach, don’t play Russian roulette with H’s life,” Jon wrote from his gmail account. “Err on the side of caution. There’s a reason the US government along with many other governments don’t recognise the Taliban. Apply principles of common sense and decency.”

Later that day, Jon received an email from Google notifying him that an administrative subpoena had been sent to them from the Department of Homeland Security “compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.” Federal agencies can issue such subpoenas without an order from a judge or grand jury, and Google gave Jon, who withheld his last name to protect his family from the government, one week to challenge it.
...
“It doesn’t take that much to make people look over their shoulder, to think twice before they speak again,” said Nathan Freed Wessler, one of Jon’s attorneys. “That’s why these kinds of subpoenas and other actions—the visits—are so pernicious. You don’t have to lock somebody up to make them reticent to make their voice heard. It really doesn’t take much, because the power of the federal government is so overwhelming.”
If you don't want to be called an authoritarian then don't do authoritarian things.

Schumer, Jefferies, Newsome, are the best examples. You could name AOC or Ro Kahna but they’re Dems mostly because of the duopoly.

Mullah Abbott speaks out publicly against student ICE walkouts
"If you're a student, you have a job and that's to go be in a classroom," Abbott said. "Protests by leaving a school is not allowed by law."

The governor's comments come after hundreds of students across Central Texas walked out over the last week to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities.
Mullah abbott should tell us specifically which laws students are allegedly violating by leaving school? They can be marked absent but I don't think it's actually illegal. I believe the punishment must usually be the same as for other unexcused absences, not extra punishment just because the absence was for a protest or some other reason that chaps the Mullah's behind.

Pentagon bans its own publication from attending Pete Hegseth’s morning press conference
"The Pentagon blackballed its own newspaper from covering its own press conference? Reminder, Stars & Stripes employees are US Army civilians," he wrote. "Their editorial independence is protected by Congress specifically to prevent political leaders from feeding troops propaganda.

Timothy Richardson of PEN America, a freedom of speech advocacy nonprofit, told Stars and Stripes that the new content guidelines were clear signs that the Pentagon was trying to wrangle the outlet to deliver its preferred talking points.

“This clearly shows that the Pentagon is trying to increase its influence over content decisions at Stars and Stripes,” he said. “That’s a threat to the First Amendment, certainly, and the independence that Congress has long guaranteed for the newsroom.”
